Six Surefire Ways to Make Your Cover Letter Stand Out Stand Out From the Rest

1. Grab the employer's attention
immediately in the first paragraph. Begin with a sentence that
entices the employer to continue reading.

2. Tell the employer what you
can do for him or her!! Tell the employer how you meet their
qualifications and convince them that you can be a
benefit.

3. Show that you have researched
the company! This is perhaps one of the most important things you
can do because it will place you in the minority (most job
applicants do not do this).

4. When discussing experience
relevant to the position, highlight an accomplishment that you
feel proud of. Discussing past examples of behavior gives the
employer a hint of what you would be like in the position.

5. Limit your cover letter to
one page.

6. Always remember to do a spell
check and PROOFREAD, PROOFREAD, PROOFREAD, PROOFREAD!!
